Holy moley - that's house prices for you

It must have been sixth sense, whilst cruising the internet I decided to have a peak at what's happening in the UK village we lived in. Imagine my surprise to find that "our" house was up for sale.

On closer inspection it seems that there is daylight robbery going on. We loved the house and the location but it seems that the price has shot up by about 42% in 2 years. I am reliably informed that's just inflation and how things are in the UK. I don't believe it!

It was very strange to see the house which has hardly changed at all. New flooring in the hallway and new paint job on the front door. Otherwise it looks pretty much as we left it, except of course there is different furniture in.

Described by the real estate agents as "outstanding" with "flexible accommodation". The house "boasts" and is "immaculate". I guess you need lots of superlatives to justify asking such a high price.

Wowee!

When we sold our home in the UK we were in a position where prices had risen so much that if we were starting out again we couldnt have afforded our own house - how crazy is that?!

So you never said how much you sold your house for??
